During the trip we played the license plate game. Wouldn't you know that my daughter found a Hawaii license plate on Capitol Hill? We found Alaska there, too.
And, perhaps best of all, Elise's blood sugar was steady during the trip. For those of you who don't know, traveling by car presents an extra challenge for T1 diabetics because the reduced exercise and increased adrenaline (from excitement) both raise blood sugar, but there is no way to measure by how much or how it will fluctuate throughout the day. An across-the-board basal rate increase of .05/hr. did the trick this time. What a relief!
